there is a striking imbalance." In a 2017 review in The Irish Times, Peter Crawley writes, "O'Connor's play, in narrative and style, is explicitly concerned with problems of connection and contrivance," and about her acting, "O'Connor conveys more about connection and loss in its modest moments, though, when her characters possess both rhyme and reason." In 2020, O'Connor performed the role of Maz in an off-Broadway version of the play directed by Jim Culleton. Laura Collins-Hughes writes about the main characters in a 2020 review for The New York Times, "They speak of their separate traumas in monologues peppered with rhyme, which sounds natural in O’Brien's mouth, self-conscious in O'Connor's." Mustard In 2020, O'Connor performed Mustard, directed by Hildegard Ryan. Kate Wyver, in a review for The Guardian, writes, "O’Connor’s performance is strong and confident" and "O’Connor’s descriptions are fleshy and poetic; sinewy, clammy, though there are shards of the story [..] that want to be pushed deeper." Claire Brennan writes in a review for The Observer, "O'Connor tackles the subject of a woman struggling with self-harm and heartbreak bravely, but she hasn't yet quite managed to find the form for the material that will transform it into drama." In a review for The Irish Times, Amy O'Connor writes, "Eva O’Connor delivers a fiery performance that never wavers in its intensity" and states that "Her writing, too, is strong [..] packed with jokes and rich metaphors and she explores the issue of mental health with sensitivity and aplomb."
